Using the Administration Console

To access and use the Administration Console in Administration Services, the Administration Services server must be running. In addition, Essbase server must also be running in order for you to select a database outline to refer to as you are creating your business rules, sequences, macros, and variables. For information on installing and starting Administration Services server and Essbase server, see the Essbase Administration Services Installation Guide.

On the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter a server name or select one from the drop-down list. Then enter your user name and password, and click OK.

The Administration Services window is displayed with Business Rules collapsed in the left frame of the window.

Expand the nodes under the Business Rules node to view their contents.

Business Rules contains the following three nodes:

The My Projects node lists the projects in the Business Rules repository that were created by the logged on user. Projects are a convenient way to organize business rules, sequences, macros, and variables into logical groupings of information.

The Repository View node lists all of the repository objects (business rules, sequences, macros, variables, and projects) that are in the Business Rules repository. You use the features in this node to create, edit, validate, launch, and manage repository objects.

The Administration node lists the properties of the client and server. You use the features in this node to change the level of error reporting in the log file, to migrate the repository, and to import and export business rules.

Refer to this guide for information on using the features of the Administration Console in Administration Services.
